canepazzo posted:Try as I might, I can't brain how to manage the fleet manager. I just checked to see how to best do this and what I come up with is this: Set your fleet to the intended layout. Split off the excess ships from your old fleet - this will create a new template with the split off ships. Use the fleet manager to retrofit the split-off ships to their intended designs. Merge them back into the main fleet. It's a little complicated because you're adding a new design to the fleet and you want refit some of the existing ships but not all of them.

Hey Wiz, bit of a bug with building federation Titans. You start building it when you are federation president and if your term elapses before the Titan is done it still counts as being a federation ship while also counting as one of your own and the game doesn't much like this.

Yeah, you still need to claim systems you occupy to get them in a status quo truce. Unless you're fighting purifiers/devourers - they are fair game, no claims required.

It's hard to get balance right. Overall with my mod resources are a bit more abundant throughout the galaxy. My last update doubled or trippled the habitability malus from negative modifiers, so some planets end up being a bit harder to colonise. This to somewhat compensate for the resources in the galaxy.

I spent absolutely ages trying to impose my ideology on some slaving despots. Destroyed loads of their stuff, occupied nearly all of their planets. And it was STILL -22 to their warscore. Then someone else declared on them and it instantly did a white peace. I got nothing at all. loving frustrating. Systems with starbases should increase your "occupied" warscore and not ONLY planets. Planets aren't that important any more and aren't even easy to find!

Magil Zeal posted:I suppose so, though is it really worth spamming them out? I'm building them at the late stage of the game though it feels a bit more like it's so I don't hit my mineral cap more than anything else, and yeah it's starting to make my maintenance costs creep up but at this point I already have a bunch of the matter converters built, not to mention three +50mineral-100energy deals active that I can cancel in a pinch to conserve energy again should I need to. Mine might be an unusual case though. I'm definitely getting some use out of them, just built a Dyson Sphere for another +1000 energy. If you have large, multi-front borders across an expanse too wide to be covered by fleets alone, then, yes, yes they are.

Splicer posted:1.0 on normal size 4 spiral seems to work good for me. I generally end up with a couple of solid chokepoints (or starless walls) in three directions and one deceptively open looking flank that actually has two or three stars that snip everything else off. My first time trying out a ring Galaxy, and anti-clockwise from me is a single system chokepoint with some friendly democatic crusaders on the other side. Clockwise from me is a full 20% of the Galaxy, completely empty with another single system chokepoint upon which the Xenophile FE sits (and an rear end in a top hat on the other side who the FE are never going to open borders to) If not for pirates I doubt I’d even bother to have a fleet. It’s basically sim city for me. Also literally two empires in the entire galaxy don’t have either Xenophile or Egalitarian in their ethics (if you don’t count the hive mind blocked off in their own area by another FE), so this Galaxy is a massive love in. Brightest timeline, I don’t think there’s even been a single war in the whole 80 years of game so far.

Hmm, it seems like there are some starbase bugs then. I have a fleet in the same system as a starbase, I tell them to go repair, and they immediately start travelling to a base in another system, that has exactly the same modules. Edit: pathing issue, maybe? Both systems have gateways in them GotLag fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Feb 26, 2018 |

Mostly dislike marauder clans since the early game can be way more "Your poo poo can get hugely hosed if you aren't even the target" Other than that the penalty for adding controlled systems seems pretty stiff

Yeah I'm not sure how to fix it but "adjust the coefficients and whatnot on the war exhaustion system" is on my bugfix wishlist. If admittedly below things like - Fix or adjust the "leaders spontaneously gently caress off from fleets," - Which makes it nearly impossible to hunt down and murder the Space Mongol Khan - Fix that rare weird fleet manager thingy before I get it - Assimilator and Devourer hive minds are crippled because of that unrest error, which is more important than a bunch of hippie peaceniks being crippled - apparently one of the endgame crises is unbeatable due to a planet-reconquest problem

Taear posted:Pacifist seems like a trap option. I can't really do much of anything any more. Not even proper wars of liberation! What do you mean, you can still force an ideologically untenable government on your antagonist nation, that's as proper a war of liberation as anything.  I imagine that the proceeding rebellions will do as good a job of tearing the unsustainably tiny successor states off your opponent as the war ever would have. There should def be a CB to free someone's vassals though.2.0 at least means you can claim territory in defensive wars, and thereby gain territory for winning (I used to have to mod that into my game before). Problem with my Inwards Perfection games in 2.0 is that I get so swole that nobody will declare war on me (I guess I'm bad at looking like an easy target while still being able to produce a fleet quickly enough to repel an actual attack). Worse, I can't demand tribute from the barbarian neighbours groveling in the shadow of my magnificence (even though Demand Tribute is one of the few diplo options that are available as Inwards Perfection) because it now requires the first Domination tradition, and Inwards Perfection swaps Domination for Purity so they can never get it. I mean, yeah, I DO play IPs like they were weirdo reverse FPs but why you gotta call me out like that, game? I'm thinking of slightly tweaking that tradition swap in a mod, anyway. I just need to think of a word that properly represents the attitude of, say, medieval China towards its neighbours.

be cool if the marauders had something like galactic raiding seasons and those who had met them could offer them tribute in the form of energy or minerals. tribute would give you influence for that season with them, and then either the leader in influence at the start of the next season would essentially get to point them at targets/a target, or there'd be a % chance based on overall tribute (if you gave 25% of the total tribute, you have 25% chance of being controller?) the more stuff they get given maybe the more ships they send out raiding because they can afford to outfit them. however the more tribute they're offered, the faster or greater the chances of them unifying into a terrifying horde is I have no idea if this would work but it'd maybe be more interesting than constantly being told "sure we raid but we're all busy right now try again later" also what's a good science generation race setup i'm garbage at this game shas fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Feb 26, 2018 |

It would seem there's something not entirely right with war exhaustion. Blowing up enemy planets with a world cracker gives me 0% and them 1.3% exhaustion, and counts as a defeat for me.

Also, speaking of world crackers, I'm in a federation with pacifists, engaged in a war to impose ideology, and they don't seem to mind at all that I'm systematically obliterating every enemy planet. The only people who care (apart from the world owners) are a couple of empires that have NAP with the victims, and are rivals with me. Nobody else gives the slightest poo poo about all this high energy genocide.

If I expand I'm not gonna be able to buy more than 2 perks anyway. you don't have enough planets settled for your territory size if you realistically can only get 2 trees down before costs balloon out of control. you should be able to get 3 before hitting the 10 years per tradition mark and even that should eventually get you through a couple more trees over time. there's definitely a temptation not to add to the penalty by colonizing, but unity generation and the various things pops contribute to, such as starbase capacity, make colonizing actually vital to keeping up with the mounting penalty from system ownership

Clanpot Shake posted:Had a weird thing happen. As a machine assimilator I abducted a pop of the faction I was at war with. Pop lands on one of my planets and has the Migrating icon. I check, and he's migrating from my planet to that of another faction. What gives? I thought it was supposed to get wired up and join my race of machine peoples. I checked species rights, everything looked good. Set to assimilate, migration controls enabled. Only weird thing was it had alpine preference and was on a continental world. Seems like a bug?

It will slow down your tradition growth, but there's enough science in space that you can keep up on the research front for the most part. Plus the sheer amount of resources you get more than makes up any difference. Maybe the space bugs next to you have slightly fancier lasers and a long and storied history of shooting fancy lasers, but if you can afford to field twice as many ships and can recover any losses at a moment's notice, they're the ones who will fear you.
